Carlos Vila

Carlos Vila is a contemporary visual artist from Spain, whose work explores the intersection between memory, landscape, and identity. Born in Madrid in 1982, Vila developed an early interest in art, immersing himself in the rich cultural milieu of Spain’s capital. He pursued formal studies at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, where he honed his skills in painting and mixed media.

Vila’s work is characterized by its evocative use of texture and color, often drawing upon the natural environments of southern Spain as both inspiration and subject. Through a combination of abstraction and figuration, his pieces invite viewers to contemplate notions of personal and collective history. Vila has exhibited extensively throughout Spain, including solo shows in Madrid, Seville, and Barcelona, and his work has been featured in several international group exhibitions.

His practice also extends into teaching and community arts projects, reflecting his belief in the social value of artistic expression. With each new series, Carlos Vila continues to challenge aesthetic boundaries, establishing himself as a significant voice in the contemporary Spanish art scene.
